My name is Jack Swart and I have worked with cast and crew sizes as large as 1500 people and as small as one. More often than not, however, I find myself alone, researching, shooting, interviewing and doing the edit on daVinci Resolve. I find cutting my own work makes me a better shooter. Was inspired by 6 months in Africa on Mad Max Fury Road and 12 months around Australia shooting travel docos. I have the skill set and experience you are looking for. I bring to the table 20+ years behind the camera, and just about as long editing what I have shot. I am super quick on daVinci Resolve Studio 18 for editing, motion graphics and colour grading. I have three Super 35mm 4K digital cinematography Cine Alta Sony PMW F55 cameras, Zeiss lenses, sound, lights and daVinci Resolve edit and grading suite.

Director & DOP for 11 years now. In total, I have Shot & Directed FOUR 'Ob Doc Broadcast TV shows' and all up TWELVE Ob Doc Budgeted TV pilots. It all involves Conjuring up Stories on the spot, writing the Voice Overs in Post and having a knack for bringing something to life. Inbetween what feels like a 1000 Corporate Videos. So how did it all begin? I started my 1st TV Broadcast Credit with a Show I was the 'DOP' and 'Director ' for, called Search4Hurt, which was sold to ESPN. A gruelling Fitness ObDoc Series. During this time I was mentored by ESPN’s Host of ‘Aussies Abroad’ at the time Jason Bennett for two seasons before moving on. He taught me how to tell a story better while I Shoot, Direct and Post Produce. My work caught the eye of Post Op Group, the largest Post House Facility in Australia who do all the big shows like ‘The Block’, ‘My Kitchen Rules’ etc. They decided they wanted to start making their own TV shows for the first time under the name KlinikTV and hired me as their 'Director / DOP' I helped construct seven TV Pilots with Aussie celebrities during my time there and one Broadcast 'DOP' Credit on CH 7. I was heavily trained and mentored daily by great and very experienced TV producers in the industry that worked there. My Freelance career started after this creating High-Corporate videos too grueling Ob Doc shows. I have travelled the world Shooting and Producing from Antarctica to Mt Everest Basecamp and all around our great land Australia. Now about to film my fourth Feature Film.
